The nameless Soldier

The nameless Soldier



Today :
he is a prisoner of war,
inside a prison called Gaza
where he was , himself , a Jailer .

Last week :
he was in his military base
activating the detonators on the cannon shells
falling on Gaza homes

Last month:
he was testing the deleted-uranium-bullets
on the civilians of Hebron

Last year :
he was harassing the pregnant-women
on the check-points

He did not take part
in the Sabra-Chatilla massacres ,
but , his father did.

He did not take part
in the Deir Yassin massacres ,
but , his grand-father did.


so why do we not give this soldier a name ?
shall we call him Monster,
invader, robber, thief , occupier,
pirate,settler??
or simply : a Zionist
